The best Venezuela started the Copa América late.

La Vinotinto suffered an outbreak of covid-19 infections a few hours before the start of the tournament.

Venezuelans lost their best footballers.

Their last card was played against Peru.

They had to win or draw and wait for Ecuador to lose to Brazil to qualify for the quarterfinals.

The worst scenario came out for Venezuela, which ended up being beaten by Peru (0-1).

Those classified in group B are Brazil (10 points), Peru (seven), Colombia (four) and Ecuador (three).

Venezuela took the field with an eye to the ball and an ear to the result of Brazil-Ecuador.

Venezuelans needed

Canarinha to

win and so Vinotinto could aspire to stay with a draw or victory.

The Venezuelans came out with the intention of being protagonists, of giving their best game.

La Vinotinto was deflated when their best offensive player, Sergio Córdova of the Bundesliga's Armania, missed a header with his head off the defeated goalkeeper.

Minutes earlier, the Peruvians also missed the goal when Yoshimar Yotún sent the ball well over the crossbar.

47: André Carrillo Yellow cards Ronald Hernández (min. 20)

The best soccer player in Venezuela was on the bench.

Yeferson Soteldo, who wore the Santos de Pelé 10, had just recovered from an injury that marginalized him from the first three games in Venezuela.

Very little happened in the field.

Neither Venezuela nor Peru increased the pressure.

At the same time, Brazil beat Ecuador at halftime.

André Carrillo sentenced everything with a goal in a good shot after a corner kick badly defended by Vinotinto.

Then the Ecuador tie fell (1-1) in Goiânia.

Another jab for Venezuelans.

It was until minute 68 when Soteldo entered the field.

The Venezuelans gained speed and creativity with 10, but Peru resisted with the minimum to deny the Venezuelans.

He could do little to try the goal.

The last time Vinotinto won a game was in November 2020 when they beat Chile 2-1 in Caracas.

This afternoon he was away.

In this Copa América the covid-19 affected all their plans to surprise.
